The document discusses the need for environmentally sound management of e-waste in India through separate e-waste legislation. It provides background on e-waste sources and hazards from improper recycling. It outlines key components of proposed e-waste rules, including producer responsibility, authorization of participants in the e-waste value chain from producers to recyclers, and setting up a Designated Authority to oversee compliance. The rules aim to formalize e-waste management while reducing environmental and health impacts of current informal recycling practices.

2. e-Waste
What is E-waste?
Electronic Waste (e-Waste) comprises of waste
electronic/electrical goods which are not fit for their
originally intended use. These include items such as
computers, cellular phones, stereos, refrigerators, air
conditioners, other consumer durables, etc.
Is e-Waste Hazardous?
E-waste is not hazardous waste per-se. However, the
hazardous constituents present in the e-waste render it
hazardous when such wastes are dismantled and
processed, since it is only at this stage that they pose
hazard to health and environment.

6. E-waste recycling is presently concentrated
in the informal (unorganized) sector
No organized collection system prevails
Operations are mostly illegal
Processes are highly polluting
Recycling operations engage in:
dismantling
sale of dismantled parts
valuable resource recovery
export of processed waste for precious metal
recovery
6
7. High-risk backyard operation
Non- efficient and Non-
environmentally sound technologies
Occupational and environmental
hazards
Loss of resources due to inefficient
processes
Impacts vulnerable social groups-
Women, children and mmigrant
labourers

8. Various legislations cover different aspects of e-waste
The hazardous waste (management and handling ) rules, 1998 as
amended in 2008 for Toxic content – registration mandatory for
recyclers
Municipal Solid Waste Management & Handling Rules for non-Toxic
content
Basel convention for regulating transboundary movement
Foreign Trade policy restricts import of second-hand computers and
does not permit import of e-waste
‘Guidelines’ by Central Pollution Control Board ( 2008)
8
9. The guidelines notified in April 2008 - basic guidance document
identifying and recognizing fundamental principles:
Producer Responsibility
RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances)
Best practices
Insight into technologies for various levels of recycling
The guidelines explicitly mention the need for a separate
legislation for implementing ‘Producer Responsibility’
9
10. E-waste is ‘distinct’ as it is an end-of-consumption waste while hazardous waste
results from a distinct industrial process
Environment Protection Act provides for separate regulations for waste with
‘distinct’ characteristics - Biomedical Wastes (M&H) Rules- 1998 , lead acid
batteries, the Batteries (M&H) Rules- 2001 etc.
The e-waste value chain is rather complex as it involves multiple players -
producers, distributors, retailers, end consumers, collection system, recyclers
while hazardous waste chain involves only the ‘occupier/ generator’ and the
‘operator’
Recovery of non-ferrous metals and reprocessing of used oil are the only two
major activities in hazardous waste recycling while e-waste recycling involves
refurbishment for reuse, dismantling and precious metal recovery which is a
complex process

11. Title: E-waste (Management & Handling) Rules to be published under the
Environment Protection Act
OBJECTIVE :To put in place an effective mechanism to regulate the
generation, collection, storage, transportation, import, export,
environmentally sound recycling, treatment and disposal of e-waste. This
includes refurbishment, collection system and producer responsibility
thereby reducing the wastes destined for final disposal.
ESSENCE: the producer of electrical and electronic equipments is
responsible for the entire life cycle of its own branded product and in
particular the environmentally sound end-of-life management and facilitating
collection and take back.

12. Responsibility of each element in the e-waste Value Chain:
• Producers – Extended/Individual Producer Responsibility
• Dealers
• Collection agencies/ collection Centres
• Dismantler
• Recycler
• Consumer and bulk consumers
Procedure for Authorization of producers, collection agencies,
dismantlers, recyclers and enforcement agencies
Procedure for registration/renewal of registration of recyclers
Regulations for import of e-waste
Liability of producers, collection agencies, transporter, dismantlers and
recyclers
Information & Tracking
Elimination of hazardous substances used in e-equipments
Setting up of Designated Authority to ensure transparency, audit and
inspect facilities, examine authorization/ registration etc.
